Some people like building things. Others like breaking them. You? You love both and more importantly, you love stopping bad actors from breaking the things you helped build. If that sounds like your vibe, we’ve got a job you’ll want to see.


This job is withthe software supply chain company - securing and powering how software gets delivered everywhere.


What you'll do:

  • Embed security across the platform, from source to prod.
  • Architect security controls across distributed, cloud-native systems.
  • Lead threat modeling and security reviews (and get people to enjoy them)
  • Pen-test services and infra (ethically, please).
  • Extend security automation and monitoring with tools like CircleCI, GitHub Actions, DataDog, AWS Security Hub, etc.
  • Harden everything from container runtimes to APIs to artifact pipelines.
  • Write secure code, review other people’s code, and help everyone level up their secure coding game.
  • Build tools, automate boring stuff, and occasionally drop a ‘sploity’ proof of concept for fun.


You need:

  • A background in software development. At your core, you’re a software engineer. Python for sure and a bit of TypeScript never hurt anyone.
  • Deep application security knowledge
  • Hands-on experience with SAST, DAST, RASP, and securing cloud (preferably AWS).
  • Strong grasp of container security, API security, IaC, and CI/CD.
  • You’ve done pen testing, threat modeling, and maybe even built some of your own security tools.
  • Big bonus if you’ve secured artifact systems or supply chains before.
  • Bigger bonus if you’ve worked with Firecracker, gVisor, or fancy things like SCA and data enclaves.
  • You believe security should enable, not block, engineering.
  • You’re a diplomat - you gotta work with engineering to secure the SDLC, not spook them.

How to Find Hidden Cyber Security Jobs in the UK Using Professional Bodies like BCS, CIISec & More

The demand for skilled cyber security professionals in the UK has never been higher. With threats increasing in sophistication and frequency, organisations are urgently hiring ethical hackers, threat analysts, GRC specialists, and security architects. But many of the most valuable roles—particularly in government, defence, and critical infrastructure—are never publicly advertised. Instead, these jobs are shared behind the scenes through trusted networks, private communities, and professional bodies. In this article, we explore how to uncover hidden cyber security jobs in the UK using organisations like the BCS (The Chartered Institute for IT), CIISec (The Chartered Institute of Information Security), ISACA, and ISC² UK Chapter. We’ll show you how to use membership directories, special interest groups, CPD events and informal networks to gain early access to roles most people never see.

How to Get a Better Cyber Security Job After a Lay-Off or Redundancy

Redundancy is never easy—especially in a fast-moving field like cyber security, where your skills and experience are constantly evolving. But if you’ve recently been made redundant from a cyber security role, know this: the UK cyber workforce remains in high demand, and your expertise is more valuable than ever. Whether you’re a SOC analyst, penetration tester, incident responder, security architect or GRC specialist, there are still thousands of opportunities across sectors including finance, defence, government, retail, and critical infrastructure. This guide will help you turn redundancy into a career relaunch, with a clear action plan tailored to the UK cyber security job market.

Cyber Security Jobs Salary Calculator 2025: Check Your Market Value in Seconds

Why yesterday’s pay survey no longer protects you. “Could I earn more at a managed SOC?” “Is that fintech’s offer really competitive?” Every UK cyber‑security professional asks some version of those questions—usually after another colleague lands a pay rise, a recruiter sends a tempting JD, or a fresh breach makes headline news. Yet salary guides published even last year feel as out‑of‑date as a forgotten antivirus signature. Since 2024, ransomware gangs switched to double‑extortion, deepfake phishing exploded, & the EU’s NIS2/DORA regulations bled into UK contracts despite Brexit. With each shift, salary bands move. To cut through stale averages, CybersecurityJobs.tech distilled a three‑factor formula that lets you estimate a realistic 2025 salary in under a minute. Feed in your role, your UK region, & your seniority level. The output arms you with data‑driven leverage for your next appraisal, job application, or freelance rate card. This article explains the formula, reveals the forces pushing cyber pay ever higher, & outlines five practical moves to boost your market value within ninety days.
